Enchanted Ivy by Sarah Beth Durst. Cover art by Sam Weber. Due out October 12th. You can read Sarah’s post HERE. I’m still hoping to read Sarah’s previous book ICE, but this one looks (and sounds) intriguing too.
ENCHANTED IVY is a story about getting into college. You know, taking the campus tour, talking to the gargoyles, flirting with the were-tigers, riding the dragons... While visiting the campus of Princeton University, 16-year-old Lily discovers a secret gate to a magical realm and must race against time to save herself, her world, and any hope she has of college admission.
Blameless: Book the Third in the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger. Due out in September. Check out Gail’s post HERE. And watch the fascinating video clip below from publisher Orbit showing the insane amount of work that when into creating this cover. Very cool.

The Bitter Seed of Magic by Suzanne McLead. You can read Suzanne’s post HERE. The is due out September 1st. Love the faux worn look.
On the surface, Genny's life seems ripple-free right now. Finn, her sexy boss, has stopped pushing for a decision on their relationship. The seductive vampire Malik al-Khan has vanished back into the shadows. And the witches have declared her no longer a threat. But unless Genny can find a way to break the fertility curse afflicting London's fae, she knows this is just the lull before the magical storm. Then a faeling - a teenage girl - is fished out of the River Thames, dead and bound with magic, and Genny is called into investigate. As she digs through the clues, her search takes a sinister and dangerous turn, exposing age-old secrets that might be better left buried. Then another faeling disappears, and Genny finds herself in a race against time to save the faeling and stop the curse from claiming its next victim - herself!
Nocturne by Jess Haines et al. Due out September 7th, Jess wrote a killer UF book Hunter By The Others due out May 4th (which I loved, my review will be coming next month), and her story in this anthology is part of that series. Can’t wait!
First, a link to the book cover for the anthology that includes my novella (SPARK OF TEMPTATION)! My story will appear alongside the work of authors Jacquelyn Frank, Kate Douglas and Clare Willis! –Jess Haines




















I didn't know Sarah Beth Durst had already written a new book. I love that cover.
ReplyDeleteTotally cool covers. Great job! Stop by I will have a post needing some support.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about the Enchanted Ivy cover, its kind of creepy.
ReplyDeleteBrizmus - It's called Ice and it's a fairy tale retold. The cover is a gorgeous pic of a girl and a polar bear.
ReplyDeleteMean Mom - I'll stop by :)
Elie - It is a little off-putting to wonder where exactly she's standing, but I love this new trend of gargoyle's in fiction.
Funny, but I actually like the Enchanted Ivy cover best. That's one I'm quite intrigued by, I hadn't heard of Ice either. I'll have to pick them both up.
